Daughter to comedian Rob Schneider. Can't help thinking that's why she got the push she did? Then if that was the case, why would she not use Schneider as her last name? I think going with Elle King was a conscious decision to try to make it on her own. And put me down for loving this song, btw. It feels a little bit like Duffy, but it holds up on its own.

I don't mind that they play this on Alternative and it's doing very well at all. It's folky, but it still has some minor rock elements in it. Elle has a bit of a rough edge to her vocals. I'm interested to see how future singles do or if this is just a one hit wonder.

I enjoy this song, I just like CWK's First more, and so want that to stay ahead of this song. I think her voice and the music fit fine on Alternative and I'm fine with her having #1, I'd just prefer if the song I liked more was at the top.
As for 2 Heads, I'd prefer if it would just hang out on HAC and Pop and leave the Alt Top 10 alone.

Yeah, I sampled the rest of the album, and I understand why she's being classified as Alternative - unlike Halsey, most of the songs on Elle King's album really do sound Alternative, or at least a kind of gritty folky rock that really doesn't sound like anything else out there right now

Didn't I post "Last Damn Night" like 8 pages ago to show she does have a rock edge?

#1 on Alt. Guess 91x is finally gonna have to start playing this weather they like it or not. Just like with "Renegades". My guess they will start sometime midweek or next week for sure. Not that I'm looking forward to it, but its bound to happen.

This will be a smash at alt. write it down. Winner! Really glad that this continued to get a push, rather than stalling in the mid-20s on AAA months ago like I was thinking was going to end its run. I'd prefer "America's Sweetheart"" next, but wouldn't be surprised if they opt for something a little heavier for now.

IMO America's Sweetheart is the only track that won't work on Alternative - they should release Song Of Sorrow, Where The Devil Don't Go, or Last Damn Night to Alt to show that she really is rock

My local station played this 60 times last week... I don't remember ever seeing anything even as high as 50 times on that station before. Wow. (And unfortunately, it looks like it took its entire 15 spin increase from Dreams. Sadface.)

so...what's the next #1 on Alt? my guess is "I Am" Probably, but it could take another month or so. "Renegades" could move up to #2 despite the drop in spins as "First" has started dropping a lot more.

It got added by my Hot AC station this week.
Although I'd say the best formats for this are Triple A and Hot AC, it doesn't really sound out of place on Alt.

It's #1 on my local Pop/Hot AC station, it's beating out songs like Can't feel my face, Lean On, Shut Up And Dance(which is still somehow in the top 5) and Cheerleader. And Can't Feel My Face hasn't even peaked at #1 so it's pretty impressive

I hope she has a record number of hits. I love how you just say the opposite of what I do. I've seen both of your charts, and I know your music tastes. I noticed that you have some similarities. It's just that Mike likes folk/indie folk and alternative rock of this style. You both like Meg Myers, Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, CHVRCHES, to name a few artists.

this is now top 10 on HotAC...in fact, half of this top10 are songs from Alternative, plus "Can't Feel My Face" which i love...not bad, especially since there is no Taylor Swift:

This all looks like the begining of what I call; the Fusing of all music charts. They talk about One world religion. One World Government, so I guess One world Music chart is inevitable?

^That is sad. But I was just reading an article, that genres are starting to die. It's already happened with hip-hop.

Hot AC is apparently superpopular right now (according to AllAccess) - all they do, though, is wait for songs to chart on other formats and then just copy what's popular from CHR, Alt, and AAA - such a wussy way to run a radio station
